Two hundred and thirty five years ago the history of the World was changed by these words.
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
The Colonies of British America, already in open revolt against Parliament and the Crown formally declared Independence. That Independence would be recognized in September 1783.
July 4th is more than just parties, and barbeques, fireworks and celebrations, beer, beaches and summertime. While she may not stand in the glory she once had, there is still no place on Earth I would rather be.
